Is distilled water drinkable?

In fact, there are extremely few actual test results or experiments to verify anything concrete about whether drinking distilled water is good for you or not, but there are lots of "urban legends" like these:---No. Distilled water is not good to drink because it contains no minerals, vitamins or other essential nutrients for the body.Distilled water is acidic however, which is not so great for your body during long periods.Distilled water is perfectly fine to drink for a week at a time, and it can actually boost your immune response because distilled water causes a temporary rise in white blood cell counts.If you have a nutritious diet, distilled water shouldn't cause any problems ever.---The mineral content of "normal" water is at best, a fraction of what a body needs for a day, and there are far more "essential minerals" in a single glass of milk then there are in 8 or 10 glasses of water. For anyone even reasonably close to eating a balanced diet, the body excretes far more unused and un-needed "essential" minerals than are missing from distilled water.Distilled water can be made very safe.Cooking the right combination of vegetables, herbs and/or spices in distilled water is an excellent way to introduce minerals, trace elements and vitamins into one's body - without the ill-effects of drinking distilled water just by itself. Plant cell walls are typically difficult to break down through digestion because of their evolutionary processes of having to withstand various environmental conditions and predators. Beta-carotene and lycopene are just two examples of organic compounds that increase potency when cooked in water.It is well known that distilled water is basically non-ionic, meaning that it lacks crucial Hydrogen ions, which chiefly influence the adicity or alkalinity of water. Due to this, it can strip nutrients from organic matter in order to exhange and equalise its positive and negative electron count. It is this imbalance that cause foods cooked in distilled water to freely give up their nutrients such as water-soluble vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, to name just a few.However, much of the nutrients would simply migrate from the plant matter into the water and if the water is consumed it would make a particularly healthy vegatable broth. Nutrients are a lot more accessible in water during digestion and a soup broth would capture a great deal of these substances. Distilled water would then become revitalised and the body can metabolise all the advantageous elements and compounds contained within.***In response to the above: NO, drinking distilled water is most definitely NOT safe to drink for an extended period of time. The lack of salt balance will deplete you body of it's natural salts and dehydrate you.
